Implementation of Alexander Gordias: Savage Adjustments

[Shizukya]

You're funny.

It's not like I'm asking for the adds to have less hp, or for hand of prayer/parting to not one shot you if you fuck it up, or reduce the hp of liquid gaol, or for the boss to just do generally less damage.

I think what I've suggested is quite reasonable and retains most, if not all of the challenge of A3S.

The mechanics u suggested to nerf, arent by far the pain in A3S, pain dont stand on "hand of pain" or brand passing but it starts from last phase. I think the mechanics are well tuned (actually the only fight with real mechanics), now that we have the new eu based servers, but just need to fix overall dps checks to make it doable by middlecore population and little dps decrease from boss, should make this fight fine for everyone.

I disagree, my static has made more progress on phase 4 in the last 2 weeks than we did for phase 2 and 3 for 2 months.

Phase 4 is a dance akin to Thordan, Titan, and every other 99% scripted fight. Compare it to phase 2/3, which are rng cluster fucks. Who gets tether, is it prayer/parting even though we try to bait out prayer, which side of the arena will the pistons/gears spawn, will ferrofluid target all of our primary stunners, where will we all end up after wash away. See my point?

Yea ikr, p1-p3 RNG yea and p4 100% scripted, but pain for me, was really the last phase (ok im blm that says all)
You NEED team to be coordinated 100% for whole fight, thats how it works, u can still clear it with some death, unlike a4s thats the most lamish fight ever made
